Hello Ram 1500 Diesel!
Have been driving/testing these for a while now, but couldn't say anything, until today! And yes it'll have plenty of towing capacity... Chrysler wrote: Ram to Build Industry's Only Light-duty...

OK the EB a V-6 twin turbo beat the the 5.7 V-8 by 0.6 of a gallon WOW that sure is a bad butt whopping there isn't it?
Considering it out towed it with 2 less cylendars and 2 less gears, I'd say it's a butt whopping. Especially how the RamBois were saying how the 8 speed would kill everyone in fuel economy. And that the EB will drink fuel like a sailor on leave. It does, but so does the Hemi.
As for the diesels the Ram that was tested was not running DEF. Now that they are all running the same system (Note: the Ram still uses the CP-3 pump) the 2013 Ram's are getting better mileage then the GM/Chevy and Ford HD trucks.
Source please from a test.
By the way we get it you are not a Chrysler/Ram fan, so why not drink your Blue Kool-Aid in a Ford post?
The facts are the facts and speak for themselves. They are not Kool Aid, Fanboi or whatever. They are the facts.
Cause the RamBois are stroking themselves about how great this Diesel will be and it will be the be all and end all of 1/2T fuel economy. I'm pointing out that Diesels don't necessarily get better fuel economy. Has nothing to do with brand other than to point the different MPG's among all. If anything, compare Ford to Ford, Dodge to Dodge, Chevy to Chevy.
Should it get much better #'s while towing than the Ecoboost or GM I'll eat my words and buy you a beer.
